2026 MY Changes (2 Viewers)

[ilumo]

I know the headline changes havent changed since 2024 (other than some OT items). I just traded in my 2024 Lux+ for a 2026 Lux+ and am wondering what kind of behind the scene changes are there. For example have they fixed these issues below (many that I had with my 24 and fixed through TSB mitigation)
1. Hood flutter
2. Brake Squeal
3. Transmission clunk from 2-1
4. Massage Seat issues
5. Backup Camera issues
6. Engine recall

I picked up my 2026 Lux Plus last week.
I noticed right away absolutely no hood flutter. It's solid even at 70.
No brake squeal, no trans clunk , no massage seat or backup cam issues.
Also no C pillar rattles (yet) but so far everything is working great.

I may be in the minority but I think the ride is very nice, even with the 22's.
Wife thinks it rides nicely too. Coming from a Grand Cherokee with air suspension I was pleasantly surprised.
Sure you feel some bumps and potholes but nothing like I expected.
Loving it so far.

Is this your first gx? A week is probably not long enough to really feel/see nuances as you are still in the honeymoon stage. That said, if all of those things are true, that would be great.

I come from unibody suvs (gls, macan) so the ride in the gx is a lot harsher. I swapped to Toyo tires on the lux and that actually made things a tad cushier (and noisier).

Enjoy the car though! This will be my 2nd lux+ and I throughly enjoyed the first one even with the little issues.
